Furthermore, 304 call centers have been facilitated for IP whitelisting through PSEB One Window to enhance their ability to serve cross-border customers.
PSEB’s support for IT companies extends to helping them attain international certifications, which boosts their marketability in international markets and enhances their performance in developing requisite products and services. This support also contributes to the improvement of manpower quality and ensures upskilling within the industry.
